Legal challenges over how workers in the on-demand tech economy should be classified keep popping up. The latest one, filed on Friday and first reported by Reuters, is a proposed class-action lawsuit filed by a Massachusetts woman named Anna Coorey, who drove for Google Express.

The lawsuit says Coorey is owed overtime pay and expenses, since she should have been classified as an employee, not a contractor. Coorey was hired through an independent courier service but wore a Google Express uniform and was required to take packages only from Google. She was required to take all deliveries in her shift.
